1974 Holden LH Torana SLR 5000 Tribute
4-door sedan, rear-wheel drive, V8 converted (verify engine identity at inspection), 3-speed automatic with B&M ratchet shifter, Queensland engineering certified, Acacia Ridge QLD.
Description / Overview:
This LH Torana has been put together with a clear direction in mind and the result is impressive. It started life as an SL with the 202ci six and has been comprehensively converted to V8 power and SLR 5000 tribute specification. The result is a car that looks the part, has Queensland engineering certification to back up the conversion work, and presents to a very high standard.
The orange paint is outstanding. Deep, glossy, and consistent with no visible chips, rust, dents, or paint defects anywhere on the body. The chrome bumpers front and rear are excellent. The SLR 5000 decal package is applied cleanly: full-width boot garnish in large orange-on-black lettering, matching rocker stripes both sides, and a black beltline pinstripe running the full length of the car. Bolt-on wider fender flares are properly fitted and they frame the polished Center Line deep-dish alloys perfectly. Staggered setup, wider Bridgestones on the rear axle. The whole package holds up from any distance.
The engine bay is show quality. Polished aluminium intake, Holley-style 4-barrel carburettor, chrome accessories, and a large chrome air cleaner with a matching orange lid. The V8 is listed as a 308ci Holden unit but the valve covers read Chevrolet with the bowtie emblem. However presented, the bay is immaculate and the conversion is done properly. A Queensland Government modification plate is mounted in the engine bay confirming certification by Ross Allen, codes LA1, LB1, and LB2, certificate number 1343473. This is proper paperwork, not a backyard job.
Inside, the black vinyl bucket seats show no tears or cracks and the rear bench is equally clean. The B&M ratchet shifter sits neatly on the tunnel. SLR 5000 badge on the glovebox and the matching centre pad on the steering wheel are the right tribute details. Black carpet is clean. The compliance plate confirms an August 1974 build date and confirms the car started life as an SL Torana, not a genuine SLR 5000. That is exactly what a tribute should be and it is disclosed clearly in the listing. One note for buyers: the odometer reads 22,341km while the listing states 12,341km. Confirm the figure in person. There is also a roll bar fitted inside the cabin; confirm compliance for your state before bidding.
Price Guide: $18,000 - $28,000
Genuine SLR 5000s are in an entirely different bracket. This car is valued on build quality, presentation, and street machine appeal. The outstanding paint, certified V8 conversion, and show-quality engine bay put it firmly at the upper end for a tribute build. The right buyer will see the value immediately.
